Bring back Hawks' greats

HIGHLAND, Ind. — Bob Foltman's "Hawks insist on ignoring treasure" article (Tribune, March 21) was right on the money.

Bobby Hull was the best left winger in NHL history. It's a shame how the Hawks' organ-i-zation wastes resources by not having former greats like Hull, Al Secord and Doug Wilson attend games and walk the hallways meeting and greeting fans. I have been to Detroit to watch the Hawks play the Red Wings, and there are so many former Red Wings walking the hallways that I thought an old-timers game was going to be played.

I had hoped Dale Tallon would be more open-minded. End the grudges and bring back these great players from the past. Bring Bobby Hull back and the United Center just might sell out again.
